Why do the majority of drivers queue up in one lane on a dual-carriageway when the other lane isn't closing for 800yds?

Now that I think about it, that doesn't even bother me - what bothers me is when cars queuing deliberately move half way out into the other lane to block people making use of a lane that is still open for almost half a mile. I was almost on the grass verge today to drive round an old woman in a Golf who gave me a pile of abuse and blasted her horn as I went by. Saw various other cars and truck doing the same to stop other drivers using both lanes.

I'm sure there is something in the highway code about merging when lanes are restricted.

Oops. Might be best to get this locked then before it gets out of hand.

Yeah, as a nation, British people love to queue and love to moan about it too.
